Nailed to the cross

 COLOSSIANS 2

13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross; 

NUMBERS 5 contains the handwriting of ordinances.

Numbers 5 : The Law of Jealousies

23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:

 It was these ordinances written on the scroll that were contrary to us or against us.

---

---

 It was these written ordinances that were washed off the scroll into the cup.  

---

---

Then was nailed to the cross and to Yeshua.

---

---

He had to drink as prescribed in the law for the wife accused of adultery.

---

---

This is why he had to drink the bitter water.

---

---

Now we know why Yeshua prayed in the garden.

Matthew 26

39And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

This was the cup Jesus drank in the Garden of Gethsemene. He had to drink from the cup, the cup of bitter water, that was to given to the wife, accused of adultery, as prescribed by the law

---

Compare again with COLOSSIANS 2:14

Colossians 2

13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

This is the handwriting of ordinances. This is the curse mentioned in Numbers 5:21, that he took away from us.   So we see that Yeshua died not only so he could remarry his divorced bride, but he took the place of her judgement. Nailing that judgement to the cross.   He had to drink from the cup, the cup of bitter water, that was to given to the wife, accused of adultery.   He knew what the outcome of the cup would bring, therefore he prayed for it be taken away.

When God led the Israelite’s out of Egypt, God considered Israel His Wife after He established his covenant with them, which was based on obedience to His Laws.  When Moses first went up to the mount and delayed coming down, they fashioned a golden calf out of the jewelry they took out of Egypt and Aaron said these are your gods that brought you out of Egypt.  When Moses came down from the mount he burned it, then crushed it into powder and made them drink it.

EXODUS 32 : THE GOLDEN CALF (Deuteronomy 9:7-29)

1And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 2And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me. 3And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a engraving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 5And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. 6And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

MOSES INFORMED OF ISRAEL’S SIN

7And the LORD said to Moses, Go, get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be your gods, O Israel, which have brought you up out of the land of Egypt. 9And the LORD said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff necked people: 10Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of you a great nation.

11And Moses sought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does your wrath wax hot against your people, which you have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people. 13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people.

MOSES DESCENDS WITH THE TABLETS

15And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven on the tables. 17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome:  but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

MOSES BREAKS THE TABLETS

19And it came to pass, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.

20And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder,

and strewed it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

21And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people to you, that you have brought so great a sin on them? 22And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: you know the people, that they are set on mischief. 23For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.24And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 25And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked to their shame among their enemies:)

26Then Moses stood in the GATE OF THE CAMP, and said, WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE?

let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him. 27And he said to them, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. 28And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 29For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man on his son, and on his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.

MOSES INTERCEDES FOR ISRAEL

30And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. 31And Moses returned to the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32Yet now, if you will forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray you, out of your book which you have written. 33And the LORD said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.34Therefore now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you: behold, my Angel shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin on them. 35And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

EXODUS 34 : THE TABLETS ARE REPLACED

For thou shalt worship no other god:  for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Moses saw they were naked after making the Golden Calf.  The episode with Israel and the Golden Calf is the same scenario that happened with Eve, the wife of Adam.  In the Garden of Eden, God clothed them with coats of skin to cover their nakedness and atone for their sin.  

GENESIS 3: THE SERPENT’S DECEPTION

10And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat? 15And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise ^[h7779] your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

If she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband,

 

Then the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 

The northern Kingdom of Israel had become chaff on the threshing floor.  They no longer fruitful to Him and they were exiled and scattered with the wind into the hands of spoilers.

---

---

This why Jesus came to seek that which was lost.  He came to seek the lost sheep of Israel that had been exiled and scattered.  The only way He could re-establish His covenant with them was through death because of the Law of Divorce stated in DEUTERONOMY 24.

Deuteronomy 24 : Law of Divorce  (Matthew 5:31-32; Luke 16:18-18)

1When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorce, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. 3And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorce, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

5When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.

God could not remarry based on His own Law.  The only way it could be circumvented was through death of His son who had no sin.

 

1Know you not, brothers, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Jeremiah spoke of this new covenant that would be established with Israel

Numbers 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; 22and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. 

They cursed and denounced him, at the very timing of the curse going forth.  The thigh is representative a person’s word or credibility, or even authority.   Used in matters of keeping one’s word.   This is why we see oath’s given why a man’s hand was under the others thigh.

---

GENESIS 24 : 

9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter.

GENESIS 47 : 

29And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt;

---

The thigh wasting away was representative of ones credibility being useless.  When Yeshua did not give the crowds proof of being the Son of God, His credibility meant nothing.

Matthew 27

40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41In like manner also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God

He held no credibility with them.  Yet there will be no mistaking his word, credibility, or authority, at his second coming.   His thigh will make it very clear.

Revelation 19

15And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.16And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

The strongest muscle in the body is the quadricep, in the thigh.  How did his thighs waste away on the cross?  It was the thighs that one used in raising themselves up, in order to breathe when being crucified.   After all of this suffering and torture that happened before ever seeing the cross.   Then after several hours on the cross, constantly lifting himself up, on the cross, just to struggle to breath, his thighs finally gave way.   Which shows how he suffocated after saying, “It is finished”.   Because truly his thighs could lift him no more.   There was no strength left and he suffocated as a result of his thighs wasting away.

Numbers 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy abdomen to swell;

Our lungs expand towards the least resistance given.  In a relaxed state, that expansion is downward.   Our Savior had been up all night in a mock trial, plus we know he was stressed because his sweat was mixed with blood, the night of praying in the garden.  He didn’t enter this day on a good night’s sleep, on a nice mattress.  So he has been up over 24 hours, after being smacked around by the Pharisees, and having his beard pulled, he gets beat up by the Roman soldiers, then presented to his people, with a crown of thorns.  Then he gets flogged to the point of hardly having human recognition.

Isaiah 52

14Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

Then he has to carry the weight of his own cross.

---

Every breath he took on the cross was in weakness, not strength. His lungs filled with fluids while hanging on the cross why in the hands of the Romans. The shear weight of the lungs would have been enough to push down on the abdomen and push it out.  His stomach was pushed out just like in the curse given to the unfaithful

wife in Numbers 5:21.  Verse 27 gives an element of bitter suffering.

Numbers 5 : 

27And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

He endured bitter suffering on the cross and the punishment of the unfaithful spouse.

Numbers 5

23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:24and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.

He took the curse mentioned in Verse 23 & nailed it to the cross just like it was mentioned in Colossians 2:14

JOHN 19 : THE DEATH OF JESUS

28After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 29There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

What scripture is fulfilled here?

How many times did he say this, when he only said it because the scripture said it would happen that way?  

Like the donkey. Did He need the donkey to go into Jerusalem? Of course not.

He did it because the scripture said it was going to happen that way. 

Things that were prophesied, he had to make sure they happened, so those around would have no excuse for not seeing prophecy taking place right before their eyes. 

Yet other prophecies that required action from others were clearly orchestrated by the spirit.

JOHN 19

24They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

34howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. 35And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. 36For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

So what scripture needed to be fulfilled from John 19:28 that He needed to drink something?

What was He given to drink?  Wine Vinegar from a sponge. 

In essence, that which is bitter.

Colossians 2

13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

He enabled his wife to be wiped clean of her guilt and be remarried at the same time.  

She can now be justified.  

Justified – declared or made righteous in the sight of God.  

Just-if-I’d never done it.

Romans 3

23for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

He takes our sin and removes it, through His death.

Romans 6

3Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; 6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him , that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7for he that hath died is justified from sin. 8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;9knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. 10For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

He removed all barriers from preventing the Northern Kingdom from coming to him through His death on the cross.  The law never was a barrier that kept people from coming to him.  It was the sin of the Northern Kingdom. It was the curse of not obeying his instruction.  Our obedience produces blessings.  Our disobedience produces curses.  Yet he removed all barriers so all could come to him. in faith.   So all can come to him in covenant as before.

Galatians 3

22But the scriptures declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through death in Christ Jesus, might be given to those who believe.

But let us not forget that faith by itself is dead.

James 2

24Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith

The proof that we are united with Him in His renewed Covenant will be us walking according to that covenant as given in the Jeremiah and Ezekial.

Jeremiah 31 :  A New Covenant

31Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah. 33But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: 34and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

Ezekial 36

26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them. 

Numbers 5 : 

31And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.

The shame of her iniquity shall ever be before her.  Yet, Jesus took the shame on the cross for us.

Hebrews 12

2looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Isaiah 45

17But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.

He took the shame so we don’t have to.

1 Peter 2

6Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Romans 10

11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame

In Numbers 5, we don’t see anything about the woman deserving death.

Was there a judgement of death, given to the Northern Kingdom together, with the law of the jealous husband?

Ezekial 16

38And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy.

Why the punishment of bloodshed?

Ezekial 20

20Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,21that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire unto them? 22And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood.

So not only did he bear the judgments of the adulterous wife, but also the judgement for her murder as well.  Thus his death on the cross.   He did all this to bring everyone into his covenant, that he desires, all to be in, as He provided the needed atonement.

Ezekial 16

62And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; 63that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have made atonement for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.

He had to die the way He did to pay the price for her sins, and at the same time releasing himself from the marriage law of Deuteronomy 24, so he could be married to her again.  The Lost Sheep of Israel, the Northern Kingdom, became adulterous while married to him, yet after the divorce, she continued in her ways.  It was at this time, that the Lord quotes Deuteronomy 24 to the Northern Kingdom.

Jeremiah 3 :  The Polluted Land

1They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, will he return unto her again? will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith Jehovah.

He is telling them that if they wanted to return to him, His own law forbids it.   It would defile the land.

2Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. 3Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hast a harlot’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. 4Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth? 5Will he retain his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.

She wants to return but her heart is far from it.  

Yet in this same chapter, he calls for her to come back, knowing he had the provision ready by way of his son on the cross, to release himself from the marriage law of Deuteronomy 24

12Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah; I will not look in anger upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah, I will not keep anger for ever. 13Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah. 14Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 15and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Notice how he declares himself a husband to them again in verse 14, even though this is after the divorce.

How can this be?  Because He speaks to those things that are not, as though they were.

Romans 4

17(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

Those who choose to accept His forgiveness, and choose to walk after Him, the curse of sin is removed, because He took the curse for them, in taking their place.

But if they reject His word, the curse remains.  

His atonement for them will not cover them if they refuse to accept it, and walk in His ways.

John 3

36He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Philippians 3

18For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 20For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

If one chooses the Lord, and then turns away from the truth, to follow after another, can He come back?

Deuteronomy 24 prohibits it.

Hebrews 6

4For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.

Deuteronomy 24

4her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Hebrews 10

26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 28A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 29of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Confirmation that God’s law is truly eternal.

Matthew 5

13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.

Being in the truth and then willfully walking away truly has eternal consequences.  This also parallels with that of the unpardonable sin.

That being blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. One who is in Messiah, is a new Creation

2 Corinthians 5

17Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

Galatians 6

15For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Romans 6

4We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life

Not only are we considered His bride, we are also considered His children. Who performed the first sacrifices? It was God himself in the garden of Eden. Making atonement for the sin of Adam and Eve, thus clothing them, and covering their nakedness, thus making him the first high priest.

Leviticus 21

9And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

If we, being children of the first High Priest, and we are all considered as such in the feminine gender, would we not see something in parallel of judgement in Leviticus 21?

Revelation 20

15And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

May we never forgot the He took our place on the cross.  He nailed the curse of the Law to the cross.    Don’t stay dead in your sins any longer.  Walk freely in the covenant He has enabled all to enter in.

Ezekial 36
